I’ve known Pat for a little less than 10 years. We met when we were both on the staff for the National Teen Leadership Program‘s summer camp here in Southern California. After several years, I was lucky enough to meet his girlfriend, Xenia, who then started volunteering with NTLP too! These two are both total peaches and I was so excited when Pat (finally!) shared the good news that they were getting married!

Xenia and Pat were in San Diego one weekend to visit friends, so we planned this engagement session as they headed back up to Orange County. We met up in San Diego at the Sunset Cliffs Natural Park for a short session and then waited until the sunset to meet up at Oceanside Pier and Beach for gorgeous beach photos!

Here are some of my favorites!

Thank you, Xenia and Pat, for meeting up with me for this fun engagement session! I can’t wait until your wedding next spring!
